Fist Of The North Star: Ken’s Rage 2 coming to Wii U

Publisher Tecmo Koei has announced that the upcoming action game Fist Of The North Star: Ken’s Rage 2 will be coming to the Wii U in addition to other platforms. Tecmo Koei released the official poster of the game, revealing a “Wii U” logo at the bottom, and later confirmed in a statement that the game will be released on Nintendo’s new console in February 2013.

Fist Of The North Star: Ken’s Rage 2 is a sequel to the original game which was released back in 2010. It’s a beat’em-up action game based on the Warrior’s series (Dynasty Warriors), which itself was based on the Japanese manga Fist Of The North Star. It’s very complicated if you’re not already into the series, but the original game was well received by fans, even if reviews were mediocre.

You can check out some crazy gameplay from the original game here. You can also find the official posted of the game below:

Looks pretty good. I never played the first, but that does give me a reason to do so.

jon

why has the guy on the front cover (presumably ken) got bullet scars on his chest?

Anon

I don’t then they are bullet holes.
I think they are finger holes where someone pierced his skin,
in an attempt to kill him.

tron

I’m not sure, but you could find out by watching Fist of the North Star. It’s an old anime from the late ’80s.

silentbates

Another dynasty warrior like game eh? I may be a HUGE fan of the empire games but there seems to be alot of DW like games of recently. I think its time to take a chill pill at least for one year we have been getting at least 2 a year!

Majin

But it is HNK!

How come the Wii U logo isn’t accompanied with the Nintendo Network logo like PSN/XBL are? I doubt that means no online for the Wii U version, but why isn’t it on there?

Herox95

Oh Idk. We has to wait and find out, maybe they have a different plan for Wii U?

smallNdeadly

Or Nintendo hasn’t shown its online logo yet…I haven’t seen it

RAS310

It’s the same one currently used on some 3DS games. Look up “Nintendo Network” on Wikipedia.

Never played any on the previous games but, I love the support Wii U is getting. I cant wait to get my gator claws on the Wii U……..Out

TheImaj

In…… Gator claws??……..Out

Me

…Seriously guys? This is no news, it was confirmed like 2 months ago…

RodSF4

I agree… but I believe what was confirmed was only in Japan. was even shown on TGS… so this one basically confirms NA release…

CRT_hater777

theBALLANCEDonion

srpg2ishere

Majin

Can’t tell if troll, or just stupid.

SteampunkJedi

I’ve never really played games like this, so I’m not sure this game is for me. But if it’s a good game that many people get, then I’m all for it: More great Wii U support.

Smilesprower

Going back to the SNES days where everyone was supporting.

Good to see ye back on track Ninty.

millz

No there not bullet holes (although they look like it) they are in fact finger holes someone called shin did it to him with the fist of the south star techniques. I am a big fan of the anime but not the games as I don’t like DW but glad Wii u is getting support that it needs

GamerJ

If they are finger holes, then the dude that did that had F#$@D up hands because that is the most unko pattern I’ve seen for finger prints.

Majin

Not the best version, but eh. First clip I found.

Majin

2:52 for the finger stabs.

BIG BROWN LOG ON THE FIRE

I played the PS3 Japanese version. Im all over the Wii-U version when it comes to the US! I wish it would be out by Christmas
